It all depends of the use cases harder to answer without that.

MongoDB and CouchDB are not RDBMS. Not sure the intention of the question is.

SQLServer carries over a considerable number of legacy apps and code on it, but many of the others are more suitable for RD. Surprised not seeing mySQL on the list...

I think DB's planet scale can offer a different view on RDBMS usage.

I had trouble pointing one database. Some are relational, some are document databases. It's like comparing a hammer and a screwdriver, which is better? When comparing databases agnostically of the purpose, then I'd choose security, performance, scalability, and availability as the main parameters.
